Linkbaiting

is something most, if not all, webmasters do-whether they realize it or not! Who doesn’t want their content linked to? Backlinks are a good thing, and getting them without any extra effort on your part should always brings a smile to your fac

Creating content that prompts one-way in-coming links from other webmasters is not only complimentary but also a “vote” of confidence that Google cannot ignore.

The methods you use to try and get people to link to your content is only limited by your imagination, and some will stop at nothing in order to succeed, hence the bad rap linkbaiting has gotten in some circles.

I’m not writing this article to argue the ethics of linkbaiting, but to give what I feel are the five best techniques you can use for getting some of those links.

Here are my five best linkbaiting techniques (all white-hat too!):

Create compelling content-Create content that begs to be linked to. Cover your topic completely, become the ultimate online resource for your chosen topic, include video, audio, and images in your content. Provide real value for your readers, try to produce content that is attention grabbing, unique, provocative, and just plain useful to your visitors.

Let them hear it from you first-Be the first to break the “big” story. Stay on the cutting edge. Subscribe to magazines, trade journals, or any source of up-to-the-minute happenings in your niche. Try to be the one who gives them “the scoop”.

Offer a free tool or piece of software-Give them a good reason to come back to your site, bookmark it, and share your link with others. even if you are unable to produce this tool or software yourself, you can always find someone to do it for you.

Give a list of needed links-Tell your visitors where they can find more quality information on the subject of your post. Save them from having to Google it and search through the results. Make your list (the best it can be!)

Give stuff away-Everybody wants free stuff (I know I do!) So give it to them, and they will share it with their friends. The more value you can give away the more links you’ll find showing up.

Put these techniques to work for you in most every thing you write, posts, articles, etc. and you will begin to find back links showing up with regularity. Remember these kind of unsolicited, natural back links are some of the most valuable links there are!
